changing permissions for subdirectories

[Benjamin Sher <delphi123@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear friends:

When changing permissions for directories and subdirectories using 
Konqueror, I check to make sure that "subdirectories" are included. But 
the subdirectories seem to remain root and won't change to user. Of if 
the subdirectories change to user, the directories and files beneath 
them do NOT. Why is that?

Thank you.

Benjamin
